Very Sensitive Elemental and Structural Probe Employing Radiation from a Synchrotron (VESPERS)

07B2-1

VESPERS is a hard X-ray microprobe capable of providing a high level of complementary structural and analytical information. The techniques of X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy are employed to analyze a microscopic volume in the sample. Multi-bandpass and pink beam capability are built in to meet variable requirements.

The beamline is currently accepting proposals for micro-diffraction and micro-fluorescence experiments for the coming cycle, as well as XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) and differential aperture X-ray microscopy. The beamline is capable to provide the beam with different bandwidths of 0.01%, 1.6%, 10%, and the pink beam. mm-sized beam will also be available for XRF and XANES measurements.
